2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB GLB250-4M

The vehicle is a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class GLB250-4M SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automated manual transmission. The VIN decodes to a vehicle manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Mexico. The auction records list the condition as “PERMIT SALVAGE” and the primary damage as “FRONT END.” The front-end classification is consistent with the visible findings: the front bumper cover is separated from the vehicle, with multiple broken, detached, and hanging lower plastic sections. Additional bumper sections are missing or fractured, particularly around the lower center and left corner. The left corner has an open circular area with exposed lower grille and support components. A detached painted and chrome-trimmed bumper/grille piece was also observed on the ground, with broken plastic and separated edges. The left exterior mirror housing and mirror glass are missing, leaving internal mirror components and wiring exposed. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the auction’s “FRONT END” damage code because the front bumper and lower front fascia are broken, detached, and partially missing. Separately, the “PERMIT SALVAGE” title condition cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The documented damage is concentrated at the front exterior and left-side mirror. Repair requirements may include replacement of the front bumper components, lower fascia and grille/trim sections, the left exterior mirror assembly, and inspection of the exposed wiring and underlying mounting or support components. The findings do not establish the condition of mechanical, structural, electrical, or safety systems that are not visible.
